massage data
Hi Experts,

I do have a weird requirements.

My input data is as below.

Code:
scott;adams;unit;[2,4,6];[8,5,4];[4,5,6]
lewis;carol;min;[1,4,9];[4,0,6];[4,5,6];[0,0,0]

The required output should be like

Code:
scott;adams;unit;[2,4,6]
scott;adams;unit;[8,5,4]
scott;adams;unit;[4,5,6]
lewis;carol;min;[1,4,9]
lewis;carol;min;[4,0,6]
lewis;carol;min;[4,5,6]
lewis;carol;min;[0,0,0]

Code:
echo "[2,4,6];[8,5,4];[4,5,6]\c"|nawk '1' RS=";"

output
-------
Code:
[2,4,6]
[8,5,4]
[4,5,6]

Thank You all for the concerns. I have been a regular follower, but a novice thread creator. Sorry for the Trouble.

Experts, But can the code be modified so as to manage any number of columns other than the first 3 in any line ? Here the loop is limited to '4'.

Regards,
Tinu Farid
